HomeAcre Hop #35

Hard to believe that September is here, life always seems to be busy at this time of year!  We have been working on our sheep handling system, trying to sort lambs, and check on the condition of the ewes, it can be hard to tell with all of that wool.  It was our first run with our "new" used sorting gate and panels, we have changes to make but it was a huge improvement over what we had before.

I would love to hear what is keeping you busy!
